froggerjohn said: I have Element Guns to boost yellow in PvE, so that's covered. It's really just for PvP.Sounds like I probably need at least 3 more covers, since Hood is around 181.75 on the yellow.I hear Peggy being mentioned on several occasions, but almost never see her on opponent teams, and looking at her kit I don't immediately understand the attraction. The blue looks useful, but expensive, and while the yellow would certainly slow teams down, if it's taking longer to beat those teams (say compared to America), then that benefit would seem to get lost. Who would she normally be paired with, and could I maybe get a couple of tips about how/why she's effective?Bottom line, PvP is a strange beast, and I feel just a bit lost after the recent entry into Champed 4* land (and the resulting increase in MMR opponents). Shortly after thinking I had blown PvP completely and would take a break from it, I've had some of my best successes to date, including my first 900+ using Nico/Medusa when Nico was boosted last week. Otherwise though, I wasn't sure where to go, other than America. If I have other alternatives, maybe I don't need to worry so much about optimizing the America/Hood combo. And the other option of course, is going back to America/Ghost, and just accepting that some matches will turn south, and enjoy the really quick wins when they work out.

Dormammu said: I rode Peggy/Moon Knight/IM40 (because... Moonsilver Blades!) even into the current SIM 4-star meta, against all those top characters you mention @Daredevil217 and they performed well. Peggy's good at slowing Carol and Vulture in particular, who can otherwise get out of hand too quickly. One cast of Re-charge to end the match is also still a fast and enticing combo.Yet, you make a strong argument and stated your case very well. But even if she's top 10, there are a LOT of 4-stars and that puts her among the best. Daredevil217 said: But I don’t believe she’s not seen more because people don’t have her. They just have better options. This is the only thing I'll disagree with. She was never a factor to a whole generation of players who entered the 4-star tier in the Vaulting Era, when Grocket, Medusa, Gamora, Carol, and Vulture all came along. All great characters are eventually abandoned to the newest hotness and Peggy was no exception. However, I believe her value remains far greater than the Hulkbusters, Teen Jeans, and Rhulks you mentioned. She is still effective unboosted while none of those are quite as much; I think Peggy has been less diminished by power creep than those others.

Rogue - Negates my quick damage; she's just a tank. I can never down her before her green wrecks havoc. I'd need a team that can stun and/or AoE.
Medusa/Carnage - Gets out of hand, maybe dependent on the thirds.
Dormammu said: Thing is a hard counter who works well, as is Kraven. Don't know if any of those are an option. Medusa/Carnage - Gets out of hand, maybe dependent on the thirds. Kraven again - he'll neuter Carnage faster than anyone. Your own Medusa is also a good counter. Also, anyone who can get you some strike tiles out will take great advantage of all the free attack tiles Carnage will give you.
